About
Sonic FX is a cover band for hire in Ballina, NSW.
Toto, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins. These are the songs plenty of bands quietly avoid because the parts are hard, and they're exactly what Sonic FX build their sets around. Five players out of Ballina, with a female lead singer, guitar, bass, keys and drums, plus three part harmonies holding the top end together. The rest of the list runs through Michael Jackson, The Doobie Brothers, the Eagles including the Joe Walsh material, Tedeschi Trucks and a good stack of Aussie rock. Some of it you'll know from the first bar. Some of it you've wanted to hear live for years and never have. They bring their own sound and lighting, and they'll want about two hours in the room before doors.
The show
Toto, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, the Doobie Brothers, the Eagles with the Joe Walsh material included. These are songs a lot of bands leave alone because the parts are genuinely hard, and Sonic FX go looking for them. Five players with a female lead singer out front, guitar, bass, keys and drums behind, and three part harmonies over the top. There's Aussie rock, disco and blues in there too. Some of it you'll recognise in a bar. Some of it you've wanted to hear live for years and never have. Clubs, pubs, private parties, corporate nights, festivals and markets.
On the day
Full professional sound and lighting is theirs, so nothing needs hiring. Indoors, they need an area sized properly for five players. Outdoors, the stage has to be covered, since a rig like that and a sudden shower do not mix. The other thing is time: they want into the venue two hours before the start, so if the room is being used for something else beforehand, work that gap into your plan.
Performance options
Five pieces is how they play. A female lead singer at the front, then guitar, bass guitar, keys and drums, with three part vocal harmonies layered across the songs. That harmony work is what makes the Toto and Doobie Brothers material sit right, and it's the reason the line-up is the size it is.
